Missing major piece
We got this brand new in box sealed with plastic wrapping. It's missing the kicking piece so my son is very upset and we can not play it properly now. Will be returning.

Awesome football game
My husband and son (12) have played this game several times since Christmas. It’s a quick play- about 20 min.

Really perfect
I have four sons (ages 7-14) and they all love this game. We have two other football board games and this is by far the winner. Everything about it is very high quality and the game is designed really well. Highly recommend!

Get it!!
My son LOVES this game!!! My husband and I also enjoy sitting down and playing with him. I would love if there were more cards for each play but each possession ends up being different. The games is well made as well! My son is 8 for reference. Highly recommend

Great game, but lacking durability in some of game pieces/materials.
Pro: The game is really fun and engaging. Love the game flow and game play! Con: Some of the materials or quality of a few of the game pieces however are made of carboard and have already become unstable (the scoreboard) and not functional after playing only about 5 times. We can still play the game with laying it down on the floor, but just a bummer. Considering the audience of this game is preteen kids, I wish the pieces were made of a sturdy plastic or something else.

Crowd Favorite for Young and Old
This is the perfect game for any sports enthusiast, old or young! The game definitely requires some basic football understanding, but you don’t have to be a football junky to enjoy it. There is a rookie version of the game that the kids started on, but they were ready for more by day 2. This game has already entertained them for hours and we just barely got it!

Fun
My 7 year old loves this games and plays it constantly with his dad. It took a bit to understand the game play and rules, but once they did they said it was simple.

Best NFL Game on the Market!
Head to Head Action with your choice of all 32 NFL Teams. You call your plays while your opponent attempts to outthink you. Go for the big score or if you fall a bit short attempt a Field Goal with the Flicker Kicker. So much Fun in this box!

Birthday Gifters Dream!
This is a great game for all my son's friends! I never know what to get 7 year old boys but this is it! Great 2 player game that really plays by the rules! Fun for kids who know the game or want to know more about the game of Footbal.
